No. There is no option information in a 68 VIN.

I got my invoice for my 81 a few weeks ago. At that time I was told GM has nothing for 77 and older unfortunately. The site was GM media archive.com

No. Records for the earlier cars do not exist. GM Archive has invoice records for 77-81 cars, but nothing earlier. The NCM has build records for Bowling Green cars.

There are other ways to verify major components such as the engine, trans, build date, color, and a few others.
If you join the NCRS, they have a service that will likely be able to give you the original dealer information.

What do you want to verify? This board is full of people willing to help. I have owned my 1968 since 1985. I am no expert but can lend a hand. Take care.
